Annoying gap let's sun between the pillar and sun visor

D3genr8 · 11-01-2021, 03:06 AM

I daily my M2c and kind of annoyed about the sun that can peak through between the pillar.

My only complaint about the car. Everything else is perfect (1400 miles)

Any alternative visors you guys are using that covers the gap? Preferably alcantara

I have a 25% window tint strip about 4" thick that runs across the top of the windscreen. It's really nice to have in that situation.

I've run into this too. I just lean slightly to the left and put the sun behind the A-pillar until I've either slightly altered course, or the sun moves if on a long straight.

What annoys me more is that the visor doesn't extend when it's folded to the left over the driver's window. That's a huge fail in a $60k car.

The sun visors on this car, just like my 235i, were the worst part of the car IMO. I want them to extend to cover the side windows so bad…

Agree they are crap. Not low enough.

But for that gap I just move my head, or wait 10 seconds for the next bend to move the sun...

California's I5 would like to ask what a "bend" is.

Maybe a little cheesy but this hack could work:

A nice pair of Maui Jims solves most of those problems, and you look fly at the same time
